On July 26, Moms Clean Air Force and EcoMadres launched a panel discussion titled “Protecting Latino Families from Extreme Heat / Protegiendo A Las Familias Del Calor Extremo” as part of our national series of panels focused on Clean Air, Climate, Health Equity–And Inequity. Climate change and extreme heat are significant threats to the health of Latino communities, especially to pregnant people and children. During this online conversation, panelists discussed the human connection between clean air, climate change, health, and health equity. The discussion is in English with Spanish subtitles.
